“Our Christmas Auction features a fantastic selection of gifts and festive treats to suit all ages and interests. Everyone is welcome to get involved, browse the lots and place bids.

"We are immensely grateful to the businesses that have provided items and continue to support our work. All proceeds raised by our annual Christmas Auction will directly benefit bereaved children and young people in Cornwall in 2025, which will also mark our 30th anniversary.”

In the past year, the child bereavement charity has supported over 1,000 children and their families across the entire county who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Additionally, the charity offers specialist training in child bereavement for counselling students, professionals, schools, and various organisations.
